Perfect doesn't have to mean without need. He has a continual unchanging expectation for us to know Him. After all if you were perfect, wouldn't you kind of just expect people to acknowledge it and praise you for what you've given to them? What he asks for isn't for HIM. it's for US. To save OUR souls because He loves us despite all our flaws.
Jesus got angry. God can be upset. Why does anger imply a lack of perfection? We have free will to disobey a perfect creator. When we sinned agaisnt God in Eden, God has already known what was going to happen, but is still allowed to show anger. His gift to us was the choice to deny him if we so wish. We still have plenty of plausible deniability to do so. In exchange when people choose to follow God, it can mean that much more to him.
